SECOND TERRITORIAL CAPITOL BUILDING OF NEBRASKA

Erected in 1857-1858 at a cost of about $130,000, and located on Capitol Hill, Omaha, the present site of the Omaha high school building. This shows the building in its uncompleted condition with only a few of the columns in place, and these were later pronounced unsafe and removed.
